Last month I went a saw a showing of the art of my friend Mary Mac at Park Lane Gallery. I absolutely adore her work, everything about it. She is a printmaker whom I met through the Kirkland Arts Center. She does monoprints and is currently working with stencils and spray paint and the results are awesome. Here is a link to her web site. Decide for yourself but I think you’ll be amazed.
So Mary Mac and I are chatting and she asks if I would like to show my soft sculpture at Park Lane in October and November. The gallery (a co-op) currently has no 3D artists so they are having guest artists come in for two months at a time. I could show 16 pieces, they would send out postcards, advertise, have wine and cheese for two art walks etc. etc. ETC! Are you kidding me? Of course I said yes, and the next day sent a small proposal off and Mary Mac took it to the committee and eeks, they said yes. They said YES!
So now I have less than two months to put together a show. With the help of my daughter I have the “theme” and all the pieces decided upon.
Sort of.
I’m speechless.
Oh, and I need three pieces for Plush You! at the same time.
ack.

Hey! Good for you! I need deadlines to get myself into gear, so I always love them. External deadlines seem to work the best. Good luck!

Oh Cathy, without deadlines I just end up with a slew of unifinished projects. This is pretty tight but I’m not too stressed about making it. yet.
